Iran is attacking US forces in Jordan, Fox News reports, citing a US source
Iran fired ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in Jordan after American strikes on Larak Island, with nearly all incoming missiles intercepted, Fox News reported.
- On Monday, Jordanian armed forces intercepted eight missiles entering its airspace following retaliatory attacks from Iran on United States facilities in the region.
- The missile launch followed a United States strike on Sunday targeting two rocket launchers on Larak Island, where Revolutionary Guard forces were preparing to launch sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iranian state media claimed the strikes caused "heavy damage" at King Hussein and Al-Azraq airbases, though Fox News reported United States sources indicated no significant impact and nearly all incoming missiles were intercepted.
- Tasnim reported preliminary figures of two people killed and two wounded, while the Revolutionary Guards vowed the United States "would be punished" for the initial Larak Island strike.
- This escalation marks six months of conflict as President Donald Trump prioritizes "economic warfare" against Tehran, though Senator Jack Reed criticized the administration on Friday, arguing the war has weakened the United States position globally.
